Apostilles

A simplified process used by numerous countries under The Hague Convention (1968) to verify the authenticity of a seal, stamp or signature which appear on official documents, contracts, or other documents used for various reasons internationally (adoptions, visas, business contracts, power of attorneys).

Apostilles can be obtained from two sources: first, the state of origin or second, the country where the document is to be used. For further information on your document, please contact International Visa Service at 1-800-627-1112.

Our cost is based on the state of processing, the type of document needed and the time frame allowed for processing.
